Press Release

BEIJING, July 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Renren Inc. (NYSE: RENN) ("Renren" or the "Company"), a leading real-name social networking internet platform in China, today announced preliminary selected unaudited financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. These preliminary results are subject to change as the Company is in the process of finalizing the financial statements for the second quarter. The Company expects to issue the earnings release for the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, on August 14, 2013, after market hours.

Revenues in the second quarter of 2013 are estimated to be in the range of US$49 million to US$50 million instead of the previously forecasted range of US$55 million to US$57 million. The reduced estimate is primarily due to delays in the planned launch of new mobile and cross-platform games for the Android market.

Operating loss on a non-GAAP basis in the second quarter of 2013 is estimated to be between US$29 million to US$30 million. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss is estimated to be between US$4 million to US$5 million.

"Revenues came in lower than expected mostly due to delays in our game pipeline. As we continue to prepare towards our penetration into the Android market, our focus isto ensure the complete readiness of our games and a carefully prepared distribution strategy at the time of entry. The next wave of growth for our mobile and cross-platform games lies in monetizing this enormously untapped but highly fragmented market opportunity," commented Joseph Chen, Chief Executive Officer of Renren.

"We remain confident about the long term growth opportunities for our company. As such, last month our board of directors authorized a new US$100 million share repurchase program to supplement the previous US$150 million share repurchase program which has already been completed," added Mr. Chen.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Renren's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Renren uses "adjusted net income (loss)" which is defined as "a non-GAAP financial measure" by the SEC, in evaluating its business. We define adjusted net income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and impairment of intangible assets. We present adjusted net income (loss) because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. We also believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our consolidated results of operations in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of our peer companies.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliation of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures" at the end of this release.
